Get matched with top garbage disposal installation pros in Clear Spring, MD

Hi, I’m Xavier and I have been working in home improvement and repairs for 20+ years. I have experience in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, & handyman task. I love sharing my skills & ideas when needed. I love the reactions of happy clients.

"Bill Martins Flood Crew is excellent. In December, just before Christmas, my finished rec room flooded when my sump pump failed--soaked carpet, cardboard boxes, books, furniture with sewer water. I thought I would not find anybody this time of year to help me. But I called Bill Martins from Flood Crew, and he came out right away. He looked at the basement and gave me an analysis of my damage on the spot. He was wonderful. He took care of getting detailed estimates to my insurance company and then made arrangements for me with all the needed specialists. First, I wouldn't have known where to start, and second I wouldn't have had a clue whom to call. I needed crews to remove the carpet, cut out drywall all around to dry it out, check for mold, test for asbestos, and then remove everything. And, of course, fixing the sump pump, installing flooring, putting everything back, and lots of details in between. All of this obviously can't be completed in a week or even a month. My work was not the only project that busy contractors had. My situation was far more complicated than I thought it would be. Ultimately, it took four months, which I thought was very reasonable. And the result is so beautiful--no corners cut, no putting up with mediocre results, all this for the same price and time or less than others quote. Be patient. Be flexible. Talk with Bill about the results you want. Listen to suggestions. Your results will be beyond anything you thought was possible."

"The installation was fast and everyone I spoke with was very thorough and always willing to explain anything I had questions about. They were tidy and on time. My water feels fantastic now and I love having separate fountain with alkaline water. I'm glad to be able to give up plastic bottle thanks Orbit. It is pricey, but it's a great investment for the future. Thanks, guys!"

"Vince from V&C was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.  I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I will be recommending him to my parents and friends who need gutter cleaning and repair work done.  He was honest and upfront about everything during our first phone call, and from his other great reviews on Angie's List, I was confident that he would do a great job.  He gave us a rough estimate of the cost of the work we needed over the phone, as he wasn't able to do an on-site estimate (which I totally understood).  With the cost of gas and travel being what it is, I don't blame him!  Not only that, but he is very busy with other gutter jobs, so he took a description of our house and gutters over the phone, and gave me a pretty solid estimate without having to actually come out here first.  Works for me!
My initial call set up a job appointment about 2 weeks out.  I felt that if he is that busy, then he must be pretty good!! (and worth a little wait) He confirmed the appointment a couple of days before, and also called and texted me when he was on his way that morning.  I appreciate the great communication!  
Vince and his assistant completed the work in about 1.5 hours.  They cleaned all the gutters, spray-jetted the downspouts that needed to be flushed, and also cleaned off the siding on the house in the areas that they worked on.  Vince re-attached the front gutter and replaced some old bent gutter nails with new screws and brackets.  He re-pitched angle slope on the rear gutter, and spray cleaned that one as well.  He removed one section of downspout in the rear and removed a pretty bad clog.  While Vince was on the roof, he pointed out some exposed nails and other roof issues for me, which was very nice of him!  With his leaf blower he used to blow out the gutters, he even offered to blow some leaves off of our patio!  After the work was completed, he even wiped down our porch and spray cleaned our sidewalks and front porch to clean up after the job!  Quick, clean, and professional!  
We are having V&C come back in the spring to install an additional downspout in the front and rear of our house, as we only have 1 per side, and the house is a bit wide for just 1.  They'll also be replacing the last remaining old gutter in the front with a new one (with screw-mounted hidden hangers instead of nails). Vince took measurements while he was here, and we are going to schedule the work soon.   I watched all the work happen, and Vince explained everything he was doing as he went along.  They worked quickly and cleaned up like  they were never here!  Vince gave us a fair price on the entire job, and even offered to give us a deal on yearly gutter cleaning if he comes back next year.

"I called the company and Anthony called me back promptly and set up an appointment to provide a free estimate Monday 3/4 at 9am. Precisely at 9am Anthony arrived, listened very carefully, gave numerous suggestions and quoted the price to me. He was totally professional, knowledgeable and a gentleman.  Out of 4 bids, this company was the lowest price. Normally I don't go with the lowest price being concerned that quality would be at risk, however, I am so glad I chose this company.... the quality of their work is outstanding! Anthony explained that they could do the work today,  Tuesday 3/5 and 5 men would be on site at 7am.
At 6:30am there were two trucks in my driveway. How often does that happen? Anthony was there at 7am reviewing the scope of work and ensuring all was well. The painters and the Master carpenter were amazing! As a seasoned DIY'r and someone used to construction and projects (we are renovating an entire 2 story colonial and have done this to numerous homes we have owned) this crew was probably the single best I have ever seen. They are "machines". Not only are they neat, nice and professional, they asked me regularly to check their work and if I liked what they were doing. They actually encouraged me to look at the work in progress and tell them if I saw anything i did not like (again, who does this?)
I am an experienced woodworker and their Master carpenter who installed the crown molding had me in awe. He measured, cut the pieces and they were spot on the first time. He was respectful of the materials I supplied and there was minimal waste. I cannot say enough good about my experience with this company, I will most definitely invite them back to my home to do more work. Quality, honesty and good old fashioned craftmanship is what I would tell you is their business model. Thanks to all for a great job!

"We were very happy and satisfied with work. The care to detale was amazing and appreciated. If you can imagine it, sketch it, or produce a picture of item, Kerwin can build it. We are extremely pleased and satisfied, and will continue to use kirwan for projects in and around our home. We highly recommend Kerwin without reservation for general to custom work for your home."

"Dishwasher and ceiling fan service was wonderful. Garbage disposal is on its way, the shower fixture was a little messy and have to return 3 times to fix, pray its the last time. But not Choice Warranty's fault. Alittle pricey but allows you to pay them out."

"My husband and I first me Rick last fall to do some prep work for landscaping, he came out and gave us an estimate and completed the work within a timely manner, cost ended up being cheaper than he quoted! YAY!!! We then contacted Rick again to install a phone jack in my home office after the phone company said they weren't able to do it! (really Frontier?) While he was in our home we noticed a leak in our basement ceiling and had called in the home warranty company who got us in touch with one of the local plumbers in the area...they informed us that the leak stemmed from a hole in the pipe from a nail in the bottom of the pedastal sink... Of course I had to get a second opinion from Rick and he discovered there was a second hole in the pipe further up and that the leak was saw sewage!! (Disgusting right?) It took him all of 5 minutes to figure that out!! He plugged the leak in the pipe and we called the insurance company. 3 months later after the walls were removed because of the mold everything taken out of the bathroom including the wall between the bathroom and office, we called Rick back to put us back together again! I called Rick out on a Thursday to give us an estimate and by Monday he and John were here hard at work! They put in a new ceiling in the basement and laid beautiful ceramic tile, they put up new dry wall, sub floor, carpet in the office and ceramic tile in the bathroom, painted the walls and ceilings and installed new light fixtures in the bathroom! I love it! Rick gives really gives good advise on beautifying your home! I look forward to doing business with him in the future! "

"Gary Barnes and his two colleagues I met were very professional as far as courtesy , on time callbacks, etc is concerned. We paid for the "Big Deal" directly through Creative Hands, not purchasing through Angie's List as we were told that this would save us time in processing. The price is pretty good, though buyers need to be aware (and perhaps I missed this explanation somewhere, although it does make sense) that the 8-hours of work includes work for one person. If you have two workers, this is divided by 2 so 4 hours a piece. Any trips to the hardware store are taken off from the total of 8 hours. This may be a common practice.  We ended up getting "extra" 2 hours of work, but partially because the 2 outlets were not installed correctly the first time, so the electrician that Creative Hands works with came by later to fix /reinstall for a second time the outlets so that the green light is on AND the GFI outlets work.  It is a good deal and worth doing for small things. They are nice guys, but in our case,  SOME of the work was a bit sloppy. Outlet in my son's room - pre-repair (no holes around outlet) After repair to install electrical outlet in bathroom we now have gaps which require patching and outlet which was not crooked and inset oddly in wall is now oddly inset and not flat.  We have uneven area on wall above where the hole was cut  that will require more than average sanding to smooth and painting (which we expected). For whatever reason, when the GFI outlets were purchased, the covers were not. The   GFI outlet in bathroom has holes/gaps around it too, and we live in an older home(1940) with the wet set/concrete type walls. We had sweeping and vacuuming to do after they were finished, a fair amount of dust and debris was left in the upstairs hall. Blue painters tape left on all of my son's furniture, which is easy to remove, but I would have thought that this was part of clean up.  The original ink marks on the wall to show one of the options for the new outlet were left on the wall, not washed off.  So, we have additional work apart from just minor sanding and painting that my husband and I were thinking we would not have hiring a professional. Ceiling patching actually is just fine.  Downstairs outlet replacement fine and light in the kitchen fine. We had planned on a second trip out- but we are afraid to do this with our fence for fear we may be left with another problem to fix afterwards. I had explained the front door issue well, and thought perhaps the wood needed to be replaced or iron strike plate or lock so that it would close and lock. We were looking for some advice on the right way to fix this, since we were told by Creative Hands that we were in good hands, with all the years experience they have at doing this. Part of the problem I think is that it would be wise to come out first to take a look to see how things need to be fixed before just showing up and having to rush a solution."
